Talking about Mental health has become a fad . We condemn physical abuse , domestic violence . But emotional abuse is done at a mental level which has not been discussed much . Also, because one cant proof how one makes you feel. Unless you record all the conversation. Even if you do , its not considered as a crime since women are seen tolerating crap daily . Also, the women who are being harrased don’t even know they are being harassed. Few of them know and accept it as their fate . Few put it a stop by standing for themselves . Many are on depression pills and many take their lives.
Emotional abuse is Real !

VERBAL ABUSE
While few take verbal abuse as emotionally disturbing . Many have adopted this as a way of life . It’s no more a harassment unless you are seen on a National Telivision abusing each other or you have recorded lashing a lady anywhere . When a lady is being verbally abused . Either she learns to give back. Or she goes mentally weak . Her self confidence goes for a toss. She starts living her life according to others. Abusing verbally is mentally harrassing someone !
EMOTIONAL BLACKMAILING
She is seen being emotionally black mailed at work and at home by her boss , colleague , parents , in laws , sibling, Friends . Now a lot of times you have taken an obligation or someone pulled you out of the mess. That makes you feel grateful . But some people take this opportunity to make you feel obliged and indebted . So much so that even if you want to say ‘No’ you can’t and THEY DON’T LET YOU ! Emotionally putting pressure on someone is mentally harassing !
THREATNING
Be it your partner , family , friend, colleague , No one can threaten you . Most of the times we make mistakes . And few idiots want to take the advantage of the fact . What you need to do is OWN UP YOUR MISTAKE . FORGIVE YOURSELF AND NOT LET ANY ONE THREATHEN YOU . THREATENING IS MENTAL HARASSMENT
JUDGEMENT
Now judging you on the basis of Caste , Creed , Gender , Religion, Relationship Status and Nationality falls under Mental Harassment . If you are being paid less, taunted because you belong to certain caste , religion or just because you are a lady . It pulls you down mentally. And you are under no obligation to take the crap. Speak up. Seek Support .
SPYING AND ATTCKING ON YOUR REPUTATION
No one yes no one has the right to spy and attack on your reputation. Making fun of you, spreading rumors , humiliating and making insulting remarks is mentally harassing and you can put a stop .
